To even remotely suggest the Flames are or will be as bad as the Oilers have been, for as long as they have and continue to be, is just rediculous. Even 'if' the Flames trade Iginla the return will be far greater than the junk Lowe got for Smyth followed by a 19 game losing streak to kill their playoff chances. 3 straight first over-all picks isn't even going to get them 2 Calder nominations. Even trying to compare Chicago or Pittsburgh is just laughable. Hall gets how many million next year for skating too fast and falling down into the boards? Meanwhile, Seguin looks like a stud in Beantown  |
I try to stay out of these peeing matches, because god knows the Oilers haven't had much to lord over the Flames this season or any of recent past.
But this Hall bashing vs. Seguin the saviour talk is ridiculous. Hall has developed into a very complete player with signs of further improvement this year. Seguin has played on a very good Bruins team and has been good no question. I would pick Hall over Seguin any day of the week.
But looking from a stats perspective this article shows the performance of these two players:
